Well, I just saw Larry in a photo of Houston Sports Greats. Didn't see you Judy. I did hear of your sickness though and prayed for you. I didn't realize how bad it was and then I just found out you left us here on earth. Saddened by your loss. I remember your wonderful warm spirit, ever so comforting. Always smiling also. I remember doing the Alpha conference with you about 10+ years ago for the kick-off @Foundry. I remember leading SS class for Ryan for many years also.Larry and yourself...

Larry, George & I were in KY when the Memorial service for Judy was scheduled. We would have been their to honor your loving, gracious wife. She was an encouraging presence for all who were blessed to know her. Her presence has been missed at FUMC and will continue to be. God's peace and strength to you and all your family.

You were such a Blessing. Your years of prayers for me will live on in my heart. Your service to those in need was devout and without hesitation. Your smile warm with love. It will be missed by many.

This was such a special lady! When I was new to the area & did not know my way around, she was so very helpful. She gave of herself so very much & was such a kind soul. Whether it was her church, charities, people needing help or guidance, Judy was the light for many of us. I will never forget her. Thoughts & Prayers to Larry & family.

   Julia (Judy) Dierker passed from this physical world into her eternal
home on December 15. She departed peacefully, shrouded in the love and
prayer of her family. Judy is survived by her husband of 42 years,
Larry, along with her children, Julia and Ryan, and her grandchildren,
Dierk, Finn, and Bram.

 Born and raised in Clarksdale, Mississippi, Judy's indiscriminate
compassion and acceptance foretold a life of service to others.

 She graduated from Cahoma County High School where she was an excellent
student and tenacious defender on the basketball court. She received a
Bachelors Degree in education from Delta State University and a Masters
Degree in Library Science from Sam Houston State University.

 Judy was preceded in death by her beloved grandmother Geneva Parrott
Campbell, her father Prentiss Crisler Campbell and her mother Mildred
Lane Underhill Campbell, as well as her best friend throughout her life,
Uncle George Campbell.

 Judy led a full life, physically as an avid jogger and racquetball
player, at home in tireless devotion to her family and spiritually
through many Christian churches, education and outreach programs.

 Judy was always a friend of the least, the lost, and the last. To honor
her compassionate spirit, the family requests that in lieu of customary
remembrances, memorial contributions in Judy's name be directed to
Best Friends Animal Society or Homeboy Industries. A tribute to
Judy's life will be held at The Foundry Church at 1 PM on Friday,
December 22.
